Tony-winning Bob Dylan jukebox musical comes to Philadelphia's Forrest Theatre

The Bob Dylan jukebox musical "Girl from The North Country" makes its Philadelphia premiere Feb. 27 at the Forrest Theatre.

The Tony Award-winner, declared "a Broadway revelation" by the Chicago Tribune, reimagines 20 legendary Dylan songs including “All Along The Watchtower,” “Hurricane,” “Slow Train Coming,” and “Like A Rolling Stone," and newer, deeper Dylan cuts like "Duquesne Whistle."

Set in 1934 Duluth, Minn., the story centers around a group of wayward travelers whose lives intersect in a family-run guesthouse filled with music, life and hope.

The cast includes David Benoit ("Les Miserables"), Ben Biggers ("Beautiful: The Carole King Musical"), Jennifer Blood (the show's original Broadway cast) and Sharaé Moultrie ("Dreamgirls.")

The Broadway version, starring Tony nominee Mare Winningham, opened March 5, 2020, but closed just a week later because of COVID restrictions in New York. The show reopened Oct. 13, 2021, and played two Broadway theaters through June 2022.

Running through March 10 at Forrest Theatre, 1141 Walnut St., Philadelphia. Tickets: $45 to $151.50. To purchase or contact: www.forrest-theatre.com; 800-447-7400.
